Not many artists can claim to be “discovered” in February, first radio performance in April, performing on live TV with their own band in June, traveling to Los Angeles for meetings in July, Opening for the legendary B.B. King in early September and later that same month performing a pre-game concert at Turner Field before the Atlanta Braves game to an estimated crowd of 30,000 and chosen as “Macy’s Rising Star 2009” in October! Stephen will be a featured performer along with Mandisa and Josh Turner at the 62nd Lighting of Macy’s Great Tree televised nationally on Thanksgiving at 7 pm. Stephen Norwood is such a remarkable young talent all this success in such a short time comes as no surprise.
Stephen is a rising R&B artist who has quickly become a popular entertainer in the Atlanta music scene. He can be found belting out his rendition of John Legend's song "Ordinary People" at venues that have a knack for discovering great talent such as the legendary Café 290, Apache Café and Smith’s Olde Bar just to name a few. .Look for original songs coming soon! Although only 18 years old, his resume, phenomenal voice, and stage presence are mature well beyond his years. A family friend recognized the extraordinary talent Stephen possessed and introduced him to his manager, Jayne Madigan of JEM Entertainment in February of 2009.

Hi Stephen Norwood, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
